...paper . . . Soon the luminous point gave me the feeling of being aboard a gently and irregularly moving vessel, so I braced a pencil on a piece of the apparatus and held it close to the luminous point . . . About a quarter of an hour was required for the shock to travel, deep under the Pacific basin, to the California coast. I waited with little patience . . . At last . . . the luminous point appeared to dance wildly and irregularly. Was it only that the pencil which I held as a marker trembled in my hand? . . . Then the trace appeared on the photographic plate . . . clear...
...most active spokesmen for the Lord in the U.S. are a pretty, 42-year-old woman and her cinema-famed husband who rarely travel on their tours without a $50,000 wardrobe. Movie Cowboy Roy Rogers and his wife Dale Evans top the bill at rodeos and circus stops across the country, where they put across a spiritual appeal that sends pistol-packing eight-year-olds off to Sunday school and their moist-eyed parents off to church.

The monster has a range of 1,000 miles, requires neither rails nor road and can travel over almost any kind of terrain at a speed of 15 m.p.h. The engine cab contains insulated sleeping quarters for four men. To get the giant from Texas to Alaska, Le Tourneau had to ship it on specially built flatcars to Seattle, from there Alaskan Freight will move...
Funds given to the Winant Volunteers are used in large part to defray the travel expenses of men and women chosen for the work who are unable to pay their own way. Clearly a mission designed to interpret the United States to London's East-Enders should not be composed exclusively of young people from families in the upper income brackets. As it is, hate--America propagandists portray our country to this group as a nation of millionaires, and a sprinkling of scholarship Winants is needed to refute this claim...
